"Another Democrat is stepping into the presidential ring.
Harvard Law professor Lawrence Lessig is exploring a bid for the White House, announcing the plan. He aims to crowdsource enough money on the Internet to “mount a credible campaign” in the Democratic primary, the website says.
Lessig’s candidacy is aimed at securing passage of the
Citizen Equality Act of 2017, a legislative proposal for voter
protection laws, new methods for electing representatives and a greater
focus on citizen-funded elections.
In his launch video, he explains that he is running to put “citizen equality” on the map, and unless a leading candidate, “whether Hillary or Bernie or Joe or someone else” adopts that mantle, Lessig himself would run as a “referendum president,” serving only as long as it takes to pass that agenda."
